we would like to convince the nra -- the nra supported this bill and the brady act back when clinton was president. i don't understand why they don't support it now. over 90% of the voters in america support universal background checks. we would like to get the nra's support for the universal background checks. and there has to be some changes to the law, but we need to get a law that will put a stop to these violent shootings taking place. >> some might say the new tactic is shaming lawmakers and members of the nra sounds kind of desperate. in your mind, how would you describe it? >> i am trying to get them to answer a very simple question. a lot of their defense has been, for example, the burden on people who are trying to sell guns. that's really irrelevant in my mind. what about the burden on the family members who are victims of gun violence? i think our burden really does outweigh. i'm trying to get some answers. i've trying calling and knocking on doors in washington. if i have to travel to their specific states to get an answer, i will do that. it is trying to figure out wher

freaking crazy do you have to be to the actual president of the nra? he's not even at the top. i'd like to acknowledge earlier this evening there was confusion with the seating chart, for a moment someone accidentally shot governor chris christie with the republicans, that was awkward and i apologize. speaking of tables before dinner, i had a chance to mingle and told my account for al jazeera for $500 million. they'll buy anything. but it is an absolute joy to be here at the white house correspondents dinner. last year brokaw criticized this event for having too many superstars and a-list celebrities. when i said i'll be attending this year, he said, that's more like it. that shouldn't be funny to you. this is really a star-studded event. this year you've taken it to new heights. new heights. because you've got some of the guys from duck dynasty here. the guys are here which can only mean one thing, the guys from storage wars said no. i love duck dynasty but i don't think your streisand whistle -- oh, my god, it works she's here. incredible. i always

david keene, departing nra president, told, spoke to what the nra's next steps might be. he said as we are likely to win most of the legislative battles in congress, we will have to move to the courts to undo the restrictions placed on gun owners' rights in new york, connecticut, maryland and colorado. that seems to be the next front. >> that's right. i will say biden has said he's going to have this new push, apparently he hasn't told the president yet. at some point -- >> in the way that only joe biden can do that. >> they'll have those conversations. but, no, i think this is great movement at the state level, the nra's expert at going to the courts and challenging this, they challenged the brady bill, but you know, it is going to be a state-by-state thing. you see for instance in arizona, while john mccain got those roses. do you have a situation in arizona, where they just passed a law that said gun buyback programs, it would be illegal to melt down those guns. they would have to -- >> thank you, jan brewer, scorpion eater and governor jan brewer. >> that's right. but

it's a tough issue because of the influence of the nra. >> reporter: at the nra convention now, giffords and kelly's gun control group is taking action, hoping rank and file nra members are open to restrictions aimed at preventing gun violence. they're targeting nra convention goers. >> reporter: other gun control groups are there, too. this ad is on houston tv. >> had there been a background check, my sister would still be with us. i'm an nra member and i believe in sensible gun laws. >> reporter: the clout comes more from members than money. but it's impossible to discount the lopsided campaign cash flowing from gun rights versus gun control groups. look at this stark illustration. gun rights groups gave nearly $528,000 to senators who voted no on expanding background checks. gun control groups only gave $5,000. john mccain voted yes, despite getting big bucks from gun groups. here's what he said about reviving the legislation. >> all i can say is that -- i would say the chances are 50-50. >> reporter: in order to pass expanding background checks, supporters have to find five new senat
